Rainy Day

Your senses go on high alert When the cool raindrops dance On your bare skin Goosebumps come out To watch their fluid movement

Each droplet tramples the grass Creating a symphony of pitter patter Nature's music

The petrichor smell Brings fantasies Of places you have yet to see Visions of lost waterfalls And the expansive sea

Water kisses your lips A thousand brief pecks Each droplet slides away Leaving a coolness in its wake

Thousands of stars Fall from the sky Their glittering shapes rush down Excited to be embraced by Their mother Nature She hugs them tight Right into the ground

You are teetering at the edge of awareness Water logs your thoughts Tucking them away For a moment of relaxation Once all the rain has fallen They will be overwhelmed Taking in the subtle glory Of our humble earth
